This is one of those articles every prepper should read because it makes some points that I rarely hear mentioned. First of all, if you have a family, then you shouldn’t have just one bug out bag. You should have a bag for each family member. But if you do that, there are several questions you need to ask.

Where should you keep backup gear? In the same bag or in a second bag?

Does each bag have enough gear for the person carrying it to survive on their own?

Does everyone know how to use all the gear in their own bag?

How much weight is each person in your family capable of carrying?

All these questions and more are dealt with in this article by Graywolf Survival.
